Odd that skunk would post works, that show exactly what WoMD can do and what happens when nations sit idly by, talking and appeasing instead of taking action in time to avert the whole disaster in the first place.

Steady. I am NOT against military action provided that:
1. We have *HARD* evidence that Iraq is developing or stockpiling WMD's.
2. We are CAREFULL about the methodolgy employed (NO high altitude bombing, cluster bombs, air fuel bombs etc)
3. The action is UN authorised
4. That the new government does not consist of the 'Opposition groups' (many of whom are as guilty of just as nasty acts as Hussein)
5. We don't abandon the Iraqi civilians to 'fate' as we have done in Afghanistan.
Just because I'm against military action at this moment in time does not mean that I can not envisage a time when it would be neccesary. Nor does it mean that I support the continuing rule of Saddam Hussein.
My main concern is not for Bush/Blair's poll ratings or Iraq's oil - it's for the Iraqi civilians whose only 'crime' was to be born in the wrong country...
